Apple (AAPL) First VR Headset to Be Niche Precursor to Eventual AR Glasses - Bloomberg https://t.co/wFlptKVYPn
Apple AR/VR (video passthrough AR) device makes sense as a living room Apple Gaming/TV offering & follows Apple's pattern of coming out with a product in a market that has shown signs it's ready from other entrants (VR). They did this with smartwatch. https://t.co/vvQLCQWGO0

sounds like Apple is setting up a system similar to how the HoloLens was originally seeded, but with the hype cycle of a consumer product launch, which will only fuel more coverage and desire to get one https://t.co/IASWKgXOp7

This seems like the only way. There are no “normal” glasses that exist yet that can do the type of AR people are imagining. Other companies seem aimed in similar directions. https://t.co/kpX4pK3zuC

Given where Apple is with spatial audio starting in VR makes sense.

I can say with confidence the final version will not have a fan, but given how good Apple silicon is at perf per watt, the fact the prototype has a fan means they have grand ambitions. https://t.co/aIF6rFcyAS
‘But why?’
— Steve Troughton-Smith (@stroughtonsmith) January 21, 2021
Apple has almost been entirely excluded from VR development & consumption up to now, from Oculus not bothering to support macOS to Valve discontinuing SteamVR to most Macs not having GPUs remotely capable of powering a headset. VR is the breeding ground for future AR https://t.co/ArSoCyBC9O
This would be interesting but if so niche why sell it at all? Doesn’t feel very Apple. https://t.co/o82OWw4ltd

This headline is bigger than some people realize. This is essentially confirmation that Apple is taking Oculus Quest seriously. The Oculus Quest is a "Niche Precursor to Eventual AR Glasses" too. Of course, Apple could still kill the product, but 2022 is already late to the game. https://t.co/LevinzWmtu

A few bombshells from @markgurman's article:
— Tom Ffiske (@TomFfiske) January 21, 2021
- Apple is making a new operating system called rOS;
- Apple is looking to provide perscription lenses built into the headset, to lower weight;
- They're a precursor to their AR glasses.

— Piers Kicks ?? (@pierskicks) January 21, 2021
- High-end VR headset coming soon; codename N301
- Custom rOS operating system; another controlled store
- Battery powered, in-built fan
- Faster chips than new M1s
- Est. 180K sales/year = ~$5000 of other similar deviceshttps://t.co/Y1QjHwy4Dt

Rumors of Apple's VR/AR efforts have been heating up lately. If they intend to do AR, they'll need to do VR. They are connected, technically and commercially.https://t.co/xn85xsUngQ

More insider info from people in Apple about their AR (and apparently largely VR at the moment) efforts. If this is to be believed, there's an expensive VR headset coming from Apple in a year or two (probably longer, we'll see).https://t.co/p1YCE6WxtQ#VR #AR #Apple
— Patrick Catanzariti (@thatpatrickguy) January 22, 2021
I buy this only insofar that "ostentatious VR goggles" is verymuch doable while "subtle and functional AR glasses" are, as far as I can determine, not possible at this time or in the near future. It still doesn't sound like an Apple sort of move.https://t.co/DTKVcnx6dT

ただ価格は300~900ドルと高価格で、1店舗で1日あたり1個しか売れないと考えるApple関係者も。
最終的にARグラスを開発することがAppleの目的ではないかと。

Makes sense that Apple would start with more of a #VR focus given the current state of XR tech. Happy to see this. Then over time we’ll move to cover more of the #XR spectrum with a single pair of glasses. https://t.co/qqgDa0YJNa
